===[[Liberty Tree]] Newspaper===

"''What have a plane, a train, and a crane got in common? They rhyme and they could all kill your children. Unrelated accidents in three corners of [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]] have shown how close we come to death when we leave our apartments everyday."''

''"While the chronology of these events is still being debated, authorities have used social network updates on the popular [[Bleeter.biz]] website in order to put them in approximate order. It is believed that the first blast caused a crane to go down at the [[Libel]] site in [[Columbus Avenue]]. The second made an out of commission [[Subway Car|subway train]] derail on the [[Algonquin]]-[[Bohan]] line. And a third blast caused a private jet belonging to the [[Liberty City Transport Authority|LTA]] to combust at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International]]. Cleanup crews are hard at work on the sites while authorities debate on how to better safeguard against a repeat of these tragedies."''

*After you destroy the train, the lights will still be on, and there will be one living passenger still aboard, who can be killed with any type of gun.

*In the Meet Tony Prince trailer, [[Luis]] and [[Gay Tony|Tony]] can be seen driving the blue [[Buffalo]] available in this mission at [[Francis International Airport]] while a jet explodes behind them. This suggests that Tony accompanied Luis during this mission in the beta.

*The crane remains in its destroyed state for the rest of the game, but never becomes this way in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[The Lost and Damned]] and instead stays undestroyed. [[2009|One year later]], in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] the crane is still destroyed.

*To lose the cops faster, zigzag from street to street, or evade the cops and then jump to the expressway.

*Use the [[Swift]] (before completing the game) after destroying the crane. Get the Swift from the West River Helipad ([[Algonquin]]) and land just on the hill before the train comes out. Destroy it with a [[Rocket Launcher]], then fly to the airport, destroy the plane, lose the [[Police|cops]] and mission accomplished.

*The crane is not available to be climbed during this mission. However you can still get to the top by using a helicopter, but the rails will not hold you in because there is an invisible forcefield blocking it. So Luis would be hovering over it.

In replays, you can use Yusuf's Gold Buzzard to achieve all three objectives at once since the cops can't catch up to you, and the rockets work the same as the Sticky Bombs

The song that Evan sings and dances to in Tony's apartment is "Maneater" by Hall and Oates, this song can be heard on the Episodes from Liberty City exclusive radio station, Vice City FM (disk version only).

The train will drive up the wrong side of the tracks during this mission.

After destroying the crane, you can stand in the flames of the destroyed crane without catching fire. This is also true for the train and the jet.

After you destroy the train, the lights will still be on, and there will be one living passenger still aboard, who can be killed with any type of gun.

In the Meet Tony Prince trailer, Luis and Tony can be seen driving the blue Buffalo available in this mission at Francis International Airport while a jet explodes behind them. This suggests that Tony accompanied Luis during this mission in the beta.

An easy way to destroy the train is to speed ahead of it to its next stop at the Fortside Station in Bohan, and when it is stopped, throw a sticky bomb on it to help achieve No Bombs Wasted.

After the plane explodes, police radio chatter mentions 'terrorist activity'.
